Kansas governor race hints for Brownback after GOP primary
The Kansas GOP primary win by Governor Sam Brownback with 63 percent prompts questions about his political future. Challenger Jennifer Winn, unknown to many, captured 37 percent amid calls for reform of felony murder laws, marijuana legalization, and nonviolent drug-offender releases. Analysts say Davis could gain if Brownback’s tax cuts worsen revenue and schools. The race shapes up for aggressive campaigns with likely attack ads from opposition groups.
